Jose Mourinho paid an emotional tribute to Chelsea's loyal fans as the beleaguered Blues boss savoured the dramatic 2-1 win over Dynamo Kiev that earned him a stay of execution.
"This is my moment. When I came back to this club and we played the first match against Hull, the way the stadium welcomed me was amazing, but it is not comparable to today," Mourinho said.
"This comes at a moment when the results are not good and you (the media) are asking for my head.
"The fans read newspapers, they watch TV, they listen to pundits', commentators' opinions, they read blogs and it's quite unbelievable what they tried to say today.
"They tried to say, 'we want you here' and probably they also want to say to all of you 'we want him, let him work'.
"It's a fantastic feeling. To support the manager shows respect and passion for the club. It's amazing.
"With Chelsea this is my moment. The club has to be very proud of their fans.
